It's funny looking back over your old posts, and how you keep insisting the game isn't going to survive, and yet here it is, one of the longest-running MMORPGs ever. It's only dying now because the PS2 dev kits they make new content on are wearing out.

Since you did read a lot of my old posts, you already understand that the first real word that Square-Enix was de-emphasizing XI and pushing XIV as the forefront of their MMO division was right after the Salvage bans of 2009.

XIV 1.x nearly killed the entire company, much less the MMO division. That's one of the reasons Yoshida is now revered within the XIV community.

We don't get Seekers of Adoulin without 1.x being such a disaster. The only question was self-sufficiency.
